It looks that way. According to an article on itp.net, the doors are locked and the CEO has left the country.

The company, which mainly sold branded smartphones, has closed its office in Dubai Internet City and founder and CEO Jim Morrison is believed to have left the country.

Staff were told to take compulsory two-month unpaid leave in an e-mail last Wednesday, according to employees, but the next day received information that the operation was closing and found the office locked.

i-mate became pretty famous in the very early days of Windows Mobile smart phones and Pocket PC Phones. They sold some the best unlocked devices out there early on. What they sold were i-mate branded, HTC built phones. After HTC and i-mate parted ways, i-mate’s line went to pot in my opinion. It’s too bad, I liked i-mate early on.
